Poor

Esperábamos más, la verdad. No había audioguía, sino una tablet más bien enfocada a niños. El estado de conservación no es el ideal. En conjunto es un lugar con buenas vistas, pero con poco contenido.

Una visita que supera todas las expectativas. La audioguía no es tal, es una tablet con información interactiva que te permite conocer la historia del castillo, de sus habitantes y como vivían. Una pasada. Además, dentro hay zonas de picnic, por lo que puedes pasar un día muy muy agradable.
